.:: Kid’s Ice-Box ::.

Weee. I am on an update spree eh ?

Basically, nothing much, just want to talk about my industrial training a bit. Basically I do technical part, supposed to be. For my first day, I didn’t learn anything. I just basically follow people around Melaka area, observe how they repair and do maintanance to PC and hardwares ( laptop, projectors, etc ). Second day is basically the same, and the third day was even worse. I had to carry PC’s, printers, and projects. All are heavy, and I was basically doing most of the job…

I haven’t learn anything yet for the past 3 days, except today. I had to ask people if there’s anything for me to do, since I finish my ‘task ‘, FINALLY someone thought me a bit. I wanna learn something dammit !

Today, I accidently made a kid cry. I was carrying stuffs, and I didn’t see the kid, so I hit him. Gosh, I felt so bad…+.+ >.< I hope I learn something soon.....

God.

I have watch this clip for like, what, 50 times ? Its really good. Thanks to my buddy for giving the link.

In case anyone is interested. Careful, this one is high res, can’t find the normal one.

Wow, that was fast.

For Luffy, this by far must be the easiest crew member to recruite. I do hope he stays, not just temporary like Vivi.

THE.NEW.BEST.CREWMEMBER.EVER.

‘Nuff said.

Finally !!

After a while I waited, I finally got my first and my only reply for my industrial training. It’s Digicity ( M ) Sdn. Bhd, around Melaka Central area. I’ve haven’t got the place yet, I will be going to interview tomorrow. Hopefully everything goes well…>_< ; I'm really scared. I never attend any work interviews before, I wonder what will they ask me ? Time to practice tonight...

Oh well, I do hope I will get this company, since I find the location quite convenient, near Central and town. Please pray for me !!

*Update*

Yay !! I got the job ! The best part it wasn't an interview at all ! I just basically went to meet the person, a little talk here and there, and bam! I got the job !! Really feel happy. Another good news is I get paid ! Also, the place is quiet near, just took me a 10 minutes drive ( depending on traffic I guess ). I will have to work from 8.00am till 5.30pm. I'm in the technical department, mainly maintances job. I will start working on this Monday.

Weeeeeee ! Finally !!

Yes ! After a long while, I manage to get almost all the covers for all my music !

Click for a larger view.

I didn’t get for all my songs, but I got quite a lot. I divided my songs to sections. At the side is the precentage of how many covers I got for all my songs :

Anime 95%
Games 99%
International 99%
Japanese 99%
Local 47%
Soundtrack 99%

Most of them were very easy to find, just find it at wikipedia. Album covers are easy to find, but the pain in the butt is the singles, especially in Japanese. For this, I have to type the name of the song, or the artist. It was a long and hard process, and I’m glad I manage to find many of them.

I’m so happy now whenever I open my iTunes, I get to see covers of the songs. Yeah, thank you Aizat for introducing me to iTunes. Yes yes, I should have listened to you earlier.

Oh well, I don’t have his hp number, so can’t SMS him. Anyway, this will do as an update.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THYE SHIN !!

How old are you this year ? Sorry, me no money to get ya a present. >_< ;; Hope your doing fine. :D

Okay, I was chatting my friend about animes, then he showed me a link about best anime’s in 2006. It’s from animesuki forums, and one of the post caught my eyes :

2006 is great, I went through the greatest change in my entire life.

I went from student to a NEET, then a true otaku and hikkikomori. Because of that I became a Haruhist, my view of life changed completely, I view life much more positively than before.

I got really bored of my endlessly repeating school life and thus decided to quit school(for the time being) and serve national service first(all male Singaporeans have to serve national service after 18). While waiting for the army enlistment date, which I waited for around 7 months, I became a NEET and an otaku who stayed at home at least 90% of the time. On top of that, I wasn’t a happy person because life felt really boring for me.

Because of this lifestyle and my love for anime, I chanced upon Haruhi-sama, she changed my life forever.

Explaining how she changed me would be a thousand word essay, but its true, her powers do transcend beyond the anime universe to ours. Watching her trying to create a better world(for the world and herself), created a better world for me. I am now able to look at life much more positively. If the world is boring for you, why don’t you try making it fun, do it yourself.

Besides Haruhi-sama, the other person who brightened up my life would be Nono, from Top wo Nerae!2, she reminded me about hardwork and determination.

While watching NHK I laughed at the life I left behind.

There are so many anime this year which deals with or questioned life, death, the meaning of existance. Shinigami no Ballad, Jigoku Shoujo, Shana, Zegapain, Death Note etc.

Watching these anime totally changed my view of life. I questioned my own purpose of existance when I’m learning about Kyon’s purpose.

Now I’m a soldier who looks forward to every weekend, to book out of camp and watch anime that I asked my brother to help me get over the weekdays.

I mean, whoa ! This “Haru-tard” is getting more out of hand and annoying. Yes, this is Haru-tard, not Haruhi-ism. I just hate it when people are just too over obessed with one anime. Like Naruto once. Yeah, Naruto and Bleach is okay, but I hate it when people say “Naruto is the best anime/manga EVER !!!”, or , ” Bleach is the best anime/manga EVER !!!” and they became “-tads” of it. I can see a lot of Naru-tard and Bleach-tard around Malaysia, even now. Suprisingly Naru-tard is still strong even after so long.

Now before some “Haru-tard” comes and give me death threats, I’ll make it clear, I too like Suzumiya Haruhi anime. I think it’s a good anime which has a good storyline and characters, but for God sakes, seriously, not to THIS OBSESSION level, where people will say “Kyon is GOD !!” or “Haruhi is GOD !!” or “Haruhi is the best anime EVER in anime history!!!”. That is ridiculous obessesion! Next thing you know, “I’m going to marry with a person ONLY with Haruhi’s personality!” or “I’m going to think and act like Kyon!”, or Haruhi do like hair styles or even follow Haruhi tsundere’s. Thank God from the pictures I saw at CF, there’s not much of Haruhi cosplay. And my God, if you need an anime or Haruhi to tell you that life is interesting, SERIOUSLY, WAKE UP !

With the next season of Haruhi coming soon, I can expect to see of this things…Once again, I can stand Haruhi-ism, but not Haru-tard.

Everyone has their different ways to stop hiccups. A few days ago I had hiccups, which was quite bad, and the normal ways didn’t work. Huh ? What do I mean by normal ways ? Well, you know :

1. Drink a lot of water.
2. Hold your breath for 30 seconds.

These were rather what I call my traditional ways that I always use to stop my hiccups. Sometimes it works in an instant, sometimes it takes a while to work. However, suprisingly, that day it didn’t work, because it was taking TOO long. I’ve been hiccup-ing for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and it’s driving me crazy…Normally the longest would be half an hour.

Suddenly, I remembered one episode from Honey and Clover II that I watched showed a few new ways to stop hiccups. The method that are shown still involves water, but are rather unique :

1. Stretch your neck and try to drink water from the other side of the cup.
2. Take a glass of water, puts two chopsticks in a cross over it, and drink from each of the four areas that the chopsticks form.
3. Mix the glass of water with sugar ( 1 spoon ) and drink.

So, since I already tried my traditional methods, I decided to give these a shot. Obviously I can’t do the 1st one ( I doubt anyone can. ), so it’s between 2 0r 3. I couldn’t find any sugar, so in the end I had to use the second method. However, turns out to be that I don’t have chopstickes too…oh well, that’s easy. I just imagine that the chopsticks are there, and drink from the areas that the chopsticks are supposedly to form.

Slowly and slowly…

…

Hey, it stopped ! No, seriously it stopped ! Wow…I’m definitely going to add this method to my list. Next time I’m going to try the 3rd way, and if possible, the 1st way as well.

So, how do you stop your hiccups ? ;D

P/S: Just an update. I asked my brother to try the 3rd method, and hey ! It worked ! Now I have to try the 1st method.
